Great mentors don't have time, but less-than-great mentors do, and they are good enough for the target audience of Mentii.

This app is great , especially if you don't take its recommendations verbatim. I haven't seen anything else that comes close.

I think something about the high resolution makes flat design (which is really just a derivative of 20th century modernist design) somehow feel ultra-clean. There's suddenly a new depth to the minimalism. It stands out more against 3D eleme

No! Hue does not vary independently from perceived saturation and brightness in the HSB color space. You would need to use something like the Munsell system to achieve this.

This is so true, but I think a lot of people haven't had the opportunity to find good role-models in life and something like this could be a first step in the right direction. The brilliant can be left to blaze their own obscure bildungsrom

Another thing to consider is that radiation outside of the visible light spectrum may have positive effects. For instance, halogens radiate a lot of infrared radiation, which is used in various therapies and is a big part of why being out i

I've never had a license and nor do most of my best friends. For your curiosity, here are some factors I see: • I grew up in a small town with environmentally conscious friends who chose to bike in all weather because of their beliefs. • As

"Proper". I agree with Oliver Reichenstein's argument[1], but Google does 13px and it's fine. The font-size in most desktop apps is less than 16px. Human's are adaptable. 16px is just more comfortable . [1]: http://ia.net/blog/100e2r

I don't understand, Helvetica Neue renders awfully at body-text sizes on computer displays. Unless you need the light weights, use Arial. It's Helvetica made to look good on computers under 16px. font-family: Arial, sans-serif;

Source Sans Pro is an excellent, extremely versatile, well-hinted and very contemporary-looking humanist sans-serif. Not to mention the platform availability and wide selection of weights. It's become my new Helvetica.

I really like Open Sans for display and small text, but it renders wide and a bit too open for body text, hence the readability issues.

Ah, the new logo is hideous! I don't see anything better about it other than the fact that it fits in a square. What's the purpose of the late-90's computer graphics style round triangle button thing? It's like a big skeuomorphic upvote but

Along similar lines, Daniel Kahneman in Thinking Fast and Slow advises writing down your thoughts before entering a meeting as you are likely to be affected by the ensuing discussion. You can extend that logic to jobs, relationships, and

I find it interesting that many of the claims to progress cite percentage deltas, but presumably those statistics don't factor in population growth. Could it be, for instance, that just as many people are in extreme poverty as in the 70's,

A friend of mine invited Bret to do this talk. He told me that Bret sent close to 50 emails leading up to the event making sure that every aspect of the talk was perfectly choreographed.

I'm sorry, it's really not. The state of design on the web is quite bad currently thanks to the number of developers who think design is easy and do it themselves. It's a 'you don't know what you don't know' thing.

Great, thanks. That should sort us out. Wasn't able to find that info on the Posthaven website.

Thanks, I had the same issue. Some other suggestions: 1. Perhaps try shortening the copy. The large buttons could just read: Code (Github) | Demo Either increase the text size or also shorten the copy on the smaller buttons to fix the resul

I like the idea of Posthaven, but the academic research lab I used to work with can't afford to move its ~10 Posterous blogs to Posthaven at $5 each per month. One of the nice things about Posterous was that you could create new blogs freel

The issue with this statement is that you don't actually want to achieve "anything". You want to realize your potential. Before you do anything, you must discover what you love and what you're good at. You can then do that thing. It feels l

As somebody who recently switched from Vim to SublimeText, I agree and disagree with much in the article, but the point about the mouse is interesting. For years I believed that eschewing the mouse was speeding me up. But I recently had the
